For whatever reason, they apparently landed on the taxiway, but as a result of this incident, every pilot flying into Paphos will be doing a little bit more monitoring.
My first thoughts when I saw that this flight was delayed by over 3 hours was fatigue? They fly the plane out and back on a trip. Cyprus is a long way from Doncaster. Standby crew called in?
All that I hope is that the crew, who after all are professionals, are not castigated on here or by their employer, or even the regulators. Safety comes from experiences. Lessons are learned.
Before we 'hang em on high', let us wait to find out the facts and hope that safety issues are shared?
Mistakes are seldom made on purpose, plugging the Swiss Cheese is incumbent of all of us!
